Hi Crimson,

For me, my IBS symptoms surface daily. Some days they are mild and other days they are really fierce! I take Hyoscyamine (which is a generic form of Levbid) which is a large-muscle relaxer, fiber choice/benefiber/citrucel supplement, and have been following Heather's Diet for more than a month and it's stabilized my symptoms.

However, rectal bleeding does not sound like a symptom of IBS. I suggest talking to your GI about this, as that sounds kinda scary to me. The cycle of your attacks sounds unusual to me also, but I'm not going to attempt to try and figure that one out. Call your doc. If you don't think that he/she is taking you seriously, find another one. A lot of people here have great doctors that they can freely talk to and call up without them making you feel like a hypocondriac.

Good luck and I hope you are well soon!
